Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

In short, after this night...

The Dragon Kingdom camp can finally take a break.

Do not approach the Dragon Kingdom camp, or misfortune will befall you!

—This kind of talk began to circulate among the substitute players.

But that's a story for another time.

Currently, most players are still eyeing other players' points and trying to steal theirs.

But some people honestly farm wild beasts to earn points.

For example, Lucas from Canada.

Although he was tall and had a strong presence.

But he's a bit of a coward, always thinking things through before acting, and he especially doesn't like to go head-to-head with the contestants.

In his view, there is absolutely no benefit to going head-to-head with the players.

First of all, you don't know if the player you're going to face has any points.

Now that so much time has passed since the forbidden area was opened, everyone has a fair amount of weapons. If they were to fight to the death against the players...

If you haven't fought it, does that mean it's gone on the spot?

If we've already played, what if the other player doesn't have any points? Wouldn't that be a waste of our energy?

Even if someone has points, how do you know how many they have? What if they only have a single-digit number of points?

The rankings are based on the sum of the individual scores of the three players from a country. Only teammates know each other's exact scores!

If he kills a few more squirrels, can he earn just as much?

He doesn't need to go after the players head-on!

The three players from Maple Leaf Country made this agreement: they could teleport once a day, and they would use this to earn points.

The teleportation location can be chosen by the user; it can directly teleport to areas with small animal dens nearby.

For example, rabbit burrows or tree holes.

However, after these two days, they haven't been able to increase their points any further; it seems there's a limit to the number of small wild animals they can kill.

Lucas thought to himself that it made sense; if everyone went to find small beasts to rack up points, wouldn't the cleanup be meaningless?

The Forbidden Land is indeed well-intentioned. It must know that the gap between countries in their real world is too great, so it specially created this cleanup activity to bridge the gap between them!

The three players then split up, each accumulating points and living their own lives peacefully.

If one side is in trouble, the other three don't need to help. They should just take care of themselves. Don't try to save the baby with a gourd.

However, looking at it now, their decision seems to be a good one!

It's the third day. Although their ranking isn't high, placing them in the lower middle range, they've at least passed the passing grade.

And all three of them survived! Yay!

As soon as it got light, the teleportation count refreshed, and he arrived.

He was looking for a safe place to farm resources.

I heard that some players were recently tricked by this teleportation ability.

Ha, what an idiot! He can't even use such a good ability. He just used Flash and gave it away for nothing!

That being said—

Shouldn't there be some high-scoring monsters here? Why haven't I seen them all this time?

Lucas's eyes swept around.

The forest was unfamiliar, but there was a strong smell of wild animals in the air—I didn't know exactly what it was, but it didn't smell very pleasant.

Lucas, carrying his gun, moved forward cautiously.

The grass here is low and sparse, and there seems to be a lot of droppings.

It really is the lair of some kind of wild beast.

Lucas thought to himself, "Could it be lynxes again?"

He could handle lynxes too, after all, he had a gun and plenty of bullets—some he'd scavenged, some he'd taken from corpses, some he'd opened from supply crates—he still had quite a few left over.

Suddenly, a loud thud!

Behind them, it felt as if some enormous thing had suddenly landed, shaking the ground.

Lucas turned around abruptly.

I saw one...

A very large, very dark... gorilla.

The gorilla had clearly swung down from the tree, and was still covered in leaves.

The gorilla was very tall; when it stood up, it was almost two heads taller than him.

The gorilla showed no hostility; even when it saw him holding a gun, it didn't seem afraid, but simply tilted its head and looked him over.

"...!!!"

Lucas's heart skipped a beat, and his finger almost pulled the trigger.

Holy crap! Could this actually be a gorilla's lair?

There was another thud behind me.

Another gorilla has landed.

Startled, Lucas turned back with his gun in hand.

Two gorillas sandwiched him between them, one in front and one behind.

They all looked at him with great curiosity.

Lucas, who is male both front and back: ...

No, buddy.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?!

He was clearly thinking about a small beast's den where he could farm points!

Why are there gorillas here?!

At that moment, Lucas caught a glimpse of the ground out of the corner of his eye.

There is a hole.

There is a field mouse in the hole.

The field mouse was looking at him.

"..."

Then it shrank back.

"..."

Now I understand.

It really was a den of small wild animals!

Lucas suddenly realized.

But it's also a gorilla's den, damn it!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

One after another, the sound of things hitting the ground rang out.

More gorillas came down.

Lucas: ...

The front and back are male.

The left and right sides represent men.

Male on top of male.

Lucas is about to be overwhelmed by the gorilla horde.

At this moment, his psychological defenses were challenged in a way he had never experienced before as a human being.

Even though the group of gorillas didn't make any moves yet, they just surrounded him like the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin.

He was trembling all over like a leaf—

Then there was a loud "bang"!

The gun, unsurprisingly, discharged accidentally.

It didn't even hit the target.

I just brushed past the gorilla's shoulder.

The gorilla was stunned for a moment.

I glanced at Lucas.

He then looked at his magnificent right arm, which was already bleeding profusely.

"Ugh—!!"

The gorilla screamed in agony.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"Gah!!"

This scream instantly ignited the entire audience.

The gorillas were having a blast and all launched a flying attack at Lucas.

At that moment, Lucas felt as if a thick shadow had fallen over his head.

He looked up.

I saw gorillas with philosophical smiles on their faces.

"..."

Ah♂!

Stand still, be a good boy/girl!

ASS♂WE♂CAN!

I don't want it anymore, Gorilla!

Brother Gorilla!

Ah♂!

Thus, in Lucas's live stream from Maple Leaf Country.

A group of chimpanzees rushed forward, forming a sea of ​​gorillas.

In the ocean of gorillas, Lucas was like a dilapidated little boat, drifting on the turbulent waves.

"Help...me!"

Soon, only a hand remained on the surface of the Gorilla Sea.

Every finger was trembling incessantly.

Amidst the cheers of the gorillas:

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

"Hoo hoo ha ha! Hoo ha ha! Hihihihi ha ha ha!!"

A black hand suddenly reached out and ripped the hand off.

then.

Humans thus tumbled and rolled in the sea of ​​gorillas.

Occasionally, I will do my best to rush out and breathe in some fresh air.

"Help, help..."

He seemed to be shouting something.

But it doesn't matter; we were still dragged into the vast ocean of gorillas by the great hand of philosophy.

Maple Leaf Country Livestream Room: ...

"Just arrived, is this the Rise of the Planet of the Apes livestream?"

"Your teleportation ability isn't exactly legitimate, is it, haha!"

"Wait, have you guys noticed... this teleportation ability is a total rip-off! Whoever teleports is doomed!"

"Forbidden Zone: My Turn to Play!"

"Damn, poor players, being played like puppets by the forbidden area."

"..."
